Emergency services are at the scene after a car crashed through a bollard and onto a pavement in Beverley.

The accident happened in Grovehill Road at about 1pm on Thursday.

Eyewitnesses said the car, said to have been driven by a young male, pulled out of the road's junction with Cherry Tree Lane, narrowly missed a cyclist and crashed into the bollards by a pedestrian crossing.

Police cars and an ambulance are currently in attendance, and the driver has been taken to hospital with injuries which are not thought to be serious.

It comes just five months after an accident almost directly opposite the crash scene, which saw a vehicle plough through the front of a house.

On that occasion two people were injured.

One man, who was visiting his mother on the street nearby, said: "It just looked like the young lad came spinning out of the junction, nearly took a cyclist off and just went through the railings.

The crash is thought to have happened at around 1pm.

"Luckily no-one was walking past or anything. There was police and an ambulance there afterwards."
